Alejandra Morales, student in BUAP University in Puebla, Mexico and my main interests are visual development and animation. Since I was young I was captivated by the world of animation and videogames, and they became part of my life since then.

Director Statement

For this story, what I wanted to showcase is the family bond between a mother and her daughter. And how when they are together they can go through any of life's roughest moments.
Working on this project we thought using 2d animation was the best way we could showcase all of the emotions of our characters, and working on their expressions and mannerisms was our priority since we decided we wanted to tell this story without dialogue.
I hope that anyone can relate to our story of love between a child/parent and that it makes them feel like thay will always have someone by their side.
